A Systematic Review of Suicide Patterns in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Research evaluating suicide in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries remains limited in the literature. This systematic review aims to analyse existing literature on suicide in GCC countries with an emphasis on the demographic characteristics, common methods employed, and the risk factors contributing to suicide. A search for the relevant literature was performed using PubMed and the Web of Science Core Collection databases. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The findings consistently demonstrated a predominance of male cases. Expatriates, particularly individuals of Indian origin, represented the majority of cases. Suicide was more frequent among younger adults. Hanging emerged as the most frequent method, followed by jumping from a height. Additional research is required to assess the scope of the issue accurately. The implementation of targeted policies and preventive strategies is recommended, particularly for high-risk groups, such as expatriates.
